Cognitive Complexity

Cognitive Complexity is a measure of how difficult a unit of code is to intuitively understand. Unlike Cyclomatic Complexity, which determines how difficult your code will be to test, Cognitive Complexity tells you how difficult your code will be to read and comprehend.

A method's cognitive complexity is based on a few simple rules:

• Code is not considered more complex when it uses shorthand that the language provides for collapsing multiple statements into one
• Code is considered more complex for each "break in the linear flow of the code"
• Code is considered more complex when "flow breaking structures are nested"

Rule: comment-format

Enforces formatting rules for single-line comments.

Rationale

Helps maintain a consistent, readable style in your codebase.

Notes

• Has Fix

Config

Four arguments may be optionally provided:

• "check-space" requires that all single-line comments must begin with a space, as in // comment
  • note that for comments starting with multiple slashes, e.g. ///, leading slashes are ignored
  • TypeScript reference comments are ignored completely
• "check-lowercase" requires that the first non-whitespace character of a comment must be lowercase, if applicable.
• "check-uppercase" requires that the first non-whitespace character of a comment must be uppercase, if applicable.
• "allow-trailing-lowercase" allows that only the first comment of a series of comments needs to be uppercase.
  • requires "check-uppercase"
  • comments must start at the same position

Exceptions to "check-lowercase" or "check-uppercase" can be managed with object that may be passed as last argument.

One of two options can be provided in this object:

• "ignore-words" - array of strings - words that will be ignored at the beginning of the comment.
• "ignore-pattern" - string - RegExp pattern that will be ignored at the beginning of the comment.

Notes

Config

Five arguments may be optionally provided:

• "single" enforces single quotes.
• "double" enforces double quotes.
• "backtick" enforces backticks.
• "jsx-single" enforces single quotes for JSX attributes.
• "jsx-double" enforces double quotes for JSX attributes.
• "avoid-template" forbids single-line untagged template strings that do not contain string interpolations. Note that backticks may still be used if "avoid-escape" is enabled and both single and double quotes are present in the string (the latter option takes precedence).
• "avoid-escape" allows you to use the "other" quotemark in cases where escaping would normally be required. For example, [true, "double", "avoid-escape"] would not report a failure on the string literal 'Hello "World"'.

Rule: comment-format

Enforces formatting rules for single-line comments.

Rationale

Helps maintain a consistent, readable style in your codebase.

Notes

• Has Fix

Config

Four arguments may be optionally provided:

• "check-space" requires that all single-line comments must begin with a space, as in // comment
  • note that for comments starting with multiple slashes, e.g. ///, leading slashes are ignored
  • TypeScript reference comments are ignored completely
• "check-lowercase" requires that the first non-whitespace character of a comment must be lowercase, if applicable.
• "check-uppercase" requires that the first non-whitespace character of a comment must be uppercase, if applicable.
• "allow-trailing-lowercase" allows that only the first comment of a series of comments needs to be uppercase.
  • requires "check-uppercase"
  • comments must start at the same position

Exceptions to "check-lowercase" or "check-uppercase" can be managed with object that may be passed as last argument.

One of two options can be provided in this object:

• "ignore-words" - array of strings - words that will be ignored at the beginning of the comment.
• "ignore-pattern" - string - RegExp pattern that will be ignored at the beginning of the comment.

Rule: quotemark

Enforces quote character for string literals.

Notes

• Has Fix

Config

Five arguments may be optionally provided:

• "single" enforces single quotes.
• "double" enforces double quotes.
• "backtick" enforces backticks.
• "jsx-single" enforces single quotes for JSX attributes.
• "jsx-double" enforces double quotes for JSX attributes.
• "avoid-template" forbids single-line untagged template strings that do not contain string interpolations. Note that backticks may still be used if "avoid-escape" is enabled and both single and double quotes are present in the string (the latter option takes precedence).
• "avoid-escape" allows you to use the "other" quotemark in cases where escaping would normally be required. For example, [true, "double", "avoid-escape"] would not report a failure on the string literal 'Hello "World"'.

Examples

"quotemark": true,single,avoid-escape,avoid-template

Rule: no-duplicate-imports

Disallows multiple import statements from the same module.

Rule: object-literal-shorthand

Enforces/disallows use of ES6 object literal shorthand.

Notes

• Has Fix

Config

"always" assumed to be default option, thus with no options provided the rule enforces object literal methods and properties shorthands. With "never" option provided, any shorthand object literal syntax causes an error.

The rule can be configured in a more granular way. With {"property": "never"} provided (which is equivalent to {"property": "never", "method": "always"}), the rule only flags property shorthand assignments, and respectively with {"method": "never"} (equivalent to {"property": "always", "method": "never"}), the rule fails only on method shorthands.

"object-literal-shorthand": true

"object-literal-shorthand": true,never

"object-literal-shorthand": true,[object Object]

  "oneOf": [

Rule: semicolon

Enforces consistent semicolon usage at the end of every statement.

Notes

• Has Fix

Config

One of the following arguments must be provided:

• "always" enforces semicolons at the end of every statement.
• "never" disallows semicolons at the end of every statement except for when they are necessary.

The following arguments may be optionally provided:

• "ignore-interfaces" skips checking semicolons at the end of interface members.
• "ignore-bound-class-methods" skips checking semicolons at the end of bound class methods.
